Rockridge residents have come to appreciate the beauty of the new Broadway Pollinator Garden site, a work in progress by the Oakland Landscape Committee (OLC) and community volunteers. This football-field size Caltrans site at the intersection of Broadway and Keith Avenue hosts hundreds of roses, lavenders, and thousands of pollinator plants providing habitat for bees, butterflies and birds.

Oakland Tech’s BuildOn Club has adopted Frog Park as its spring service project.

Let’s show them our community spirit: Join up to 30 dedicated BuildOn members on “First Saturdays” on Saturday April 6 and Saturday May 4 to handle park maintenance tasks not suited to the kid-friendly Earth Day clean up.

The final plan, created by Suzanne Schrift of MIG Inc. and incorporating ideas from our community, provides for large native trees to replace the eucalyptus, plus smaller trees that will be attractive to birds and screen the view of the DMV car enclosure, a much-needed additional picnic table, and new boulders to enhance the creekside area.

BART is ready for a visual upgrade. After years of difficulty gaining consensus on design, representatives from BART, the Rockridge Community Planning Council (RCPC), and the Rockridge district Association (RDA) have developed a plan to remodel the plaza area of the BART station at College and Keith.
